Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 515 - 514: Too Contemptuous to Mention

With that realization, the two felt that since they had graduated from high school, it didn’t matter anymore.

At school, Su Mu’s prestige belonged to the school.

With everyone graduating, Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu thought they could finally show off in front of Su Mu.

Although what Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu called showing off still relied on their family’s financial status.

Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu didn’t find anything shameful about that; weren’t the advantages of their own families their own advantages?

As far as Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu were concerned, as long as they could show off in front of Su Mu once, that was enough.

Of course, the ultimate outcome disappointed both Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu.

It was not just disappointment; when Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu found out that Su Mu was the young master of the Su Family Corporation, the fear in their hearts was written all over their faces.

At the time, those classmates present didn’t find anything strange about it.

The little tricks Wang Mingqi and Zhu Haoyu devised against Su Mu were declared a failure upon the revelation of his real identity.

In facing such failure, it would be strange if they weren’t afraid.

Among them, Zhu Haoyu’s hostility towards Su Mu arose because of his secret crush on Jiang Xinxuan.

So, at that time, Jiang Xinxuan’s feelings for Su Mu were quite clear to everyone else.

Su Mu also knew a bit about it.

Since Su Mu didn’t know his true identity back then, he did not accept Jiang Xinxuan’s advances.

With the announcement of Su Mu’s identity, Jiang Xinxuan naturally became his girlfriend.

Su Mu saw his girlfriend’s WeChat reply and sent back an "OK" emoji.

No matter if Xuanxuan was fully dressed or not, Su Mu had already notified his girlfriend in advance.

In Su Mu’s opinion, the time it took to drive from the castle to Yulong Lake Villa was more than enough for his girlfriend to get ready and come out looking gorgeous.

Of course, what Su Mu liked most was seeing his girlfriend fresh out of the shower, radiating that natural beauty.

Su Mu didn’t know if, on this trip to Huangtong City, Xuanxuan would stay in a hotel or at her uncle’s house.

But Su Mu was definitely going to stay in a hotel.

Since he didn’t know the exact address of Xuanxuan’s uncle’s house yet, Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry to book a hotel or anything.

If he booked it too far away, wouldn’t he have to get up in the middle of the night on the day Bai Wanting and Allen were getting married?

As Su Mu saw it, booking a hotel could be easily managed on his phone, and it could be done upon arrival in Huangtong City.

As for Xuanxuan, it would be best if she could stay in the hotel with Su Mu.

The two young people, especially as they were a couple in love, would undoubtedly experience some very wonderful things staying together in a hotel.

As adults, we all clearly understand that.

Now, it all depends on what Xuanxuan’s mother has to say at that time.

After all, this was also a trip home for Xuanxuan’s mother, so if she thought it would be better for Xuanxuan to stay with her at her family’s home, Su Mu wouldn’t insist.

As for Xuanxuan’s father, being the last of the four to go to Huangtong City, of course, he had no say in the matter.

This time, Su Mu chose to drive his favorite black Ferrari 812.

In Su Mu’s opinion, the black Ferrari was always the brightest and coolest – he never understood why so many people liked red Ferraris.

It was as if red had become the spokesperson for Ferrari.

Out of the four Ferrari 812s in Su Mu’s garage, not one was red.

In Su Mu’s eyes, seeing too many red Ferraris had become somewhat tedious.

"Vroom..."

The arrogant roar of the Ferrari engine accompanied the black Ferrari as it sped out of the castle’s main gate.

Naturally, the castle’s security personnel were already very familiar with the young master’s habits.

Before the black Ferrari even neared the castle’s main gate, the security staff had already pressed the electric door button early on.

Such a rapid response was, of course, to avoid delaying their young master’s trip.

The castle’s main gate was designed to be quite large.

Even if five sedans drove in and out side by side, it wouldn’t pose a problem.

Su Mu, with his champion driving skill, didn’t even need to touch the brakes to ease through the castle’s main gate.

The mountain roads in this wealthy area were much broader than those in the city.

The purpose was, of course, to accommodate these influential tycoons of Huadong City.

If these big bosses were to encounter traffic right outside their front doors,

it would upset them, and the consequences could be quite severe.

So Su Mu, in an excellent mood, drove his sports car along the spacious mountain road.

At this time, there were almost no other vehicles to be seen.

Even the big bosses couldn’t still be sleeping soundly at home at such an hour.

They were most likely already settled in their offices and getting down to business.

Su Mu’s parents were a prime example of this.

The Su Family Corporation, not to mention other places, was surely unrivaled in Huadong City, right?

But Su Mu knew that in the absence of special circumstances, his parents usually arrived at the company very early.

The so-called nine-to-five routine was definitely something his parents could stick to in the morning,

but the "five" in the afternoon was something Su Mu thought his parents found hard to adhere to.

Not just in the past, when Su Mu’s mother made an effort to come home on time to care for her son,

the burden fell on Su Mu’s father.

So, Su Mu remembered his father frequently staying late at work or traveling on business.

Su Ruizhi used to explain that it was to earn a bit more salary and bonuses.

At the time, Su Mu believed it,

thinking about the tremendous pressure of being a middle-aged man, and he even made a silent vow to reduce some of his parents’ stress.

That’s why, right after taking his college entrance exams, Su Mu set off to work.

When Su Mu later found out his real identity, he gained a new understanding of his parents’ work.

Only then did he realize that his father’s long hours at work were not about earning more salary and bonuses.

The real reason was that the entire Su Family Corporation needed his father’s management, naturally resulting in a very tight schedule.

After Su Mu discovered his true identity, Su Ruizhi and Bai Xiuping could also openly be themselves in front of him.

There was no need for Bai Xiuping to rush back home every day to take care of Su Mu.

With the full support of his wife, Su Ruizhi felt much more at ease.

Su Mu felt as if he had booked the entire road for himself.

He comfortably turned on the stereo and, while casually listening to music, he drove towards his girlfriend’s house in the Yulong Lake Villa area.

At the familiar intersection, Su Mu subconsciously took a glance.

Seeing no sign of the familiar red Ferrari made Su Mu inexplicably relieved.

Su Mu didn’t know why he felt this way, maybe because He Qiya had been looking for him a bit too frequently lately.

Moreover, the chance of "casually running into" He Qiya on this mountain road had been so high that Su Mu even had subconscious reactions.

Su Mu never pondered over why He Qiya often encountered him on this mountain road.

In Su Mu’s view, too frequent encounters had lost the initial charm they once had.

Su Mu was unaware that many of those "coincidental meetings" were the result of He Qiya waiting for half a day.

Sometimes, He Qiya had to wait for several days to achieve what Su Mu considered a "chance encounter".

He Qiya truly invested a lot of effort to meet Su Mu.

If only Su Mu knew.

Of course, He Qiya dared not let Su Mu find out.

He Qiya wasn’t sure what the consequences would be if Su Mu knew.

If it turned out well, perhaps Su Mu would be moved by He Qiya’s dedication, and something good might develop from there.

But if Su Mu did not appreciate He Qiya’s dedication, the outcome certainly wouldn’t be something He Qiya could bear.

He Qiya was not willing to take that risk at all.

He Qiya felt she could slowly integrate into Su Mu’s life and gradually occupy a certain place in his heart.

Maybe once Su Mu got used to having her around, the feelings between He Qiya and Su Mu would naturally change, right?

Of course, this was all just wishful thinking on He Qiya’s part.

As He Qiya had hoped, it was fortunate that Su Mu was unaware of her little schemes.

Otherwise, Su Mu would probably have avoided He Qiya like the plague.

If Su Mu had known about He Qiya’s feelings for him, he definitely wouldn’t have directly asked He Qiya for help with Four Eyes’ search for the girl he saw from behind.

After all, if it was just about finding someone, Su Mu would still be able to think of other ways to help Four Eyes.

It’s just that asking He Qiya might be the most direct and simplest way.

Because Su Mu was unaware, He Qiya did end up with more opportunities to interact with him.

Today, not having "casually bumped into" He Qiya on this mountain road, Su Mu really didn’t know whether to say He Qiya’s luck had been bad recently.

Knowing that she hadn’t seen Su Mu in a few days,

He Qiya couldn’t find any good excuse to ask Su Mu out or bump into him somewhere.

These past few days, He Qiya still used the old method, waiting at the mountain road intersection.

He Qiya knew that Su Mu’s favorite was his black Ferrari 812.

And she guessed that probably the only black Ferrari 812 in the whole Huadong City belonged to Su Mu.

Therefore, for He Qiya, seeing the familiar black Ferrari 812 passing on the mountain road meant it was undoubtedly Su Mu.

Unfortunately, these past few days He Qiya’s luck hadn’t been so good, and she hadn’t "accidentally" encountered Su Mu even once.

Originally, He Qiya had planned to wait at the intersection early today, hoping for Su Mu’s beloved car to appear.

However, He Qiya, who had been waiting at the intersection, received a call from her father, telling her to go to Xinghuan Entertainment to sign some documents.

It seemed that some enrollment documents needed He Qiya’s signature for a university in Wudong City.

Because it related to whether she could attend the same university as Su Mu in Wudong City, He Qiya didn’t dare to delay and immediately drove to Xinghuan Entertainment.

So, when Su Mu drove his black Ferrari down the mountain, he very easily didn’t see any trace of He Qiya’s red Ferrari.

Su Mu had things to do today and of course didn’t have the time to accompany He Qiya racing or anything of the sort.

Besides, Su Mu’s enthusiasm for driving had dwindled compared to when he had first acquired his Champion Driving Skill.

Back then, since Su Mu had never touched a car before, he was naturally filled with a strong interest in driving.

Now, Su Mu had to drive back and forth every day, and his interest in cars had long since faded from that initial passion.

Naturally, his enthusiasm for racing with He Qiya on mountain roads had also faded.

Not seeing He Qiya’s car even made Su Mu feel a bit more relaxed.

It just wasn’t clear what kind of mindset He Qiya would have if she knew about these inner thoughts of Su Mu.

Luckily, He Qiya wasn’t aware of these things, or who knows if she would still be motivated to follow Su Mu to study in Wudong City.

Of course, He Qiya was only attending the same university as Su Mu in Wudong City, not actually following him to the university in the true sense of the word.

For someone like He Qiya, who hadn’t even taken the college entrance exam, Z University in Wudong City wouldn’t open its doors to welcome her.

Even with all of He Yuguang’s capabilities, it was impossible for him to get He Qiya into Z University.

A self-aware He Qiya didn’t demand her father to ensure she attended the same university as Su Mu.

He Qiya wasn’t a girl without any sense of propriety; she knew when to stop.

It’s just not known how calm and measured He Qiya would remain if one day she found out that Su Mu actually had a girlfriend, and that Su Mu’s relationship with his girlfriend was quite stable.

Of course, these were things unknown to Su Mu and didn’t require his consideration.

Following the rhythm of the music, Su Mu hummed a little tune leisurely.

Since Su Mu didn’t set out during the rush hour, the journey into the city was smooth, and the traffic conditions were almost as Su Mu expected.

Once in the city, there would be speed limits, and it wouldn’t be possible to drive as freely as on the mountain roads.

Luckily, Su Mu wasn’t in a hurry. Driving to Huangtong City on his own had this advantage—there was no need to rush.

He could go whenever he wanted, enjoying the freedom.

Su Mu was quite familiar with the route to the Yulong Lake Villa area.

Initially, because he hadn’t gotten his driver’s license, Su Mu would usually have Xiao Wang drive when entering the city.

Even though it wasn’t Su Mu himself driving back then, and he didn’t make a special effort to remember the route, the path was just too simple for him.

Asking a high-IQ honor student to memorize a route really was like asking a university student what one plus one equals—the answer was almost too disdainful to voice out loud.
